NVIDIA Video Effects SDK

The NVIDIA Video Effects SDK (VFX SDK) is a comprehensive collection of AI-powered video effects for real-time video enhancement and processing.

This collection serves as the central hub for all VFX SDK components.

Overview

The VFX SDK enables developers to build state-of-the-art video processing applications with AI-powered features, such as video relighting, video super resolution, and AI green screen. The SDK is powered by NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) with Tensor Cores, supporting high throughput and low latency processing.

Getting Started

The VFX SDK comprises the SDK Core and a set of optional features that can be downloaded and installed individually. The SDK Core and features are distributed through the NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) platform.

The SDK Core includes the API headers, library files, and runtime dependencies. It does not include the libraries and models that are required to run any of the features. After installation, the SDK Core provides a script to fetch and install features from NGC.

Make sure you are logged in to your NGC account. If you do not have an account, you can create one at the NGC Sign In Page.
